Somehow I was expecting to see a lot more praise and excitement for the 3DS after it launched....

The 3D effect seems to trigger mixed reactions. Other than that...there really doesn't seem to be anything truly exciting about it? I don't see any "wow, those graphics!!" or "holy cow, this thing is fast/powerful" type comments.

The general vibe I am getting from here and other places is more like "pretty neat", rather than "wow, so awesome". :confused:

Because that's exactly the response.

The 3DS graphics are roughly the same as PSP, so nothing new (and in fact, so 2005) and hence nothing to jump up and down about. Sure, it's better than the DS...

The 3D is mixed reactions because it's...meh. The consensus is that it's cool for a while, after which your eyes hurt, or the battery dies, or you get fed up with losing the sweet spot all the time. It's got the wow factor of being a new technology, but no real lasting appeal.

I had a 3DS for three days, sent it back. Totally underwhelmed.

????????????- Nice to meet you, I'm a Mac.

?????????? - Hi, I'm a PC.

???iPod????????- Oh, an iPod, what are you listening to?

Eurobeat. - Eurobeat.

Eurobeat? - Eurobeat?

??????iPod. iTunes????????Podcast????????- iPods are great. iTunes is easy to use, and I can look forward to my Podcasts.

??????iPod?????????????????????iLife????????- You know, for a mac, we enjoy things with pictures and movies just as easily as using an iPod. I come with iLife.

??iLife?????????????????????- Oh, iLife? I also come with all kinds of cool software.

????????- Oh, for example?

????????- Calculator.

????????- What else?

??? - Clock. Nice translations Gammamonk and thanks. But just to nitpick a little...:D I believe "っオ、iPod、何聞いてる" should be "っオ、iPod、何聴いてる" You had "What are you hearing?" rather than "What are you listening to?" :D

I haven't looked at this for ages, extremeoverclocking probably changed their xml design. I'll see what I can do, but I can't promisse you a fast solution. My daughter and studies take up most of my time right now.

I'll post a working version in this thread, when I come to it. If you'd like to take over development however, feel free to do so.

Thanks for trying the widget :)

thanks. yeah i know this is an old topic, but i'm new to folding, and some people still have this linked in their sigs (that's how i found it)

as much as i'd love to work on this, i'm still new to programming as well. taking a java class now. so i don't think i would get much done.

RAW handling in OSX is done by the operating system, so updates to RAW support imply updates to OSX as well.

I think this is sort of true in Aperture but not 100% true. Aperture has it's own RAW decoders (1.0 and 1.1 versions) which are separate from the system and run in Core Image. I believe that it relies on the system support for colour profile data only...

I'd thought he'd never been seen with anything but water. Just something I thought I'd heard once.

i downloaded 10.4.8 and it wouldnt boot! i got a dark grey screen instead of the blue appple screen. Then i did it again but reset pram. then it just sat at the apple screen loading for a few minutes, so i restarted. Same thing, but it reset by itself, o then the 3rd time i let it stay and it worked. i hope it ends up being ok. I only downloaded it because i was hoping for apertre 1.5, but of course its nto out yet

Just got back from Regents! Scored a t-shirt and got Leopard. I feel bad for the people who didn't realise you could go upstairs and check out. -Matt

Thats what happened to me and Spanky Deluxe! Lol we got in the store and was getting screamed at by the apple staff who were blocking the way to the bottem back of the store so we thought we had to go upstairs :D It was a fun experience!

This is not really new technology.

This is a very common device what is new is that someone is marketing it to Apple.

I agree... But sounds nice, but I just don't think it will pay off. Keep a fan spinning 10 mins longer may set you back around &#163;5-10. + add's size an weight.

Nice idea, not practical

Something I'd like to see is a rackmount SDXC RAID array. Think how many sd slots would fit in a 1U array. I know, probably won't happen, but still interesting to see.And this is just the front�

http://www.connecticutgasprices.com/tax_info.aspx

According to this its 25 cents per gallon of gas, with an additional 5% sales tax....:confused:I thought it was higher than that. Connecticut levies a 6% general sales or use tax on consumers, above the national median of 5.85%. In 2007 combined state and local general and selective sales tax collections were $1,424 per person, which ranked 21st highest nationally. Connecticut's gasoline tax stands at 41.9 cents per gallon (4th highest nationally), while its cigarette tax stands at $3.00 per pack of twenty (2nd highest). Additionally, Connecticut levies a 5.8% gross receipts earnings tax on oil companies, which is collected at wholesale. The sales tax was adopted in 1947, the gasoline tax in 1921 and the cigarette tax in 1935. http://www.taxfoundation.org/research/topic/17.html

Who honestly cares? Lame. I saw a black guy and a mexican guy chatting outside a bookstore yesterday. Let's focus on that.

Most are class 6 or about 6MB/s, some are class 10 or about 10MB/s. The fastest are around 30MB/s but that costs over $200 for a 32GB card. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171413&cm_re=sdhc-_-20-171-413-_-Product

Wow � sounds like USB 1.0 speeds. Here comes the past!

they don't lose the secret features due to NDAs.

Well, sort of. The NDAs would hardly stop someone from surreptitiously releasing info about features on a forum. The NDAs certainly haven't stopped screen shots from being posted.... These concealed features are, as has been noted, coming in later builds, probably after they are revealed at MWSF.
